360° Legs + Booty Workout!

By Katrina Scott on

Workin' your sexy stems from every angle!

Your lower body is made up of SO many muscles. Some are bigger and used in everyday life (think walking and standing up). Others are smaller, but still important to help maintain balance and fine movements. Strengthening each one is crucial to build lean muscle, burn maximum calories, and help prevent injuries!

There are 6 main muscles you need to think about when sculpting your lower bod - quadriceps (quads), hamstrings, gluteus maximus (booty), gluteus medius (side booty), inner thigh, and calves. To freshen up on the anatomy of these muscles, we've created a little graphic for ya!

Your quads are used for explosive moves like jumps or sprinting, as well as non-explosive exercises like squats.

Hamstrings help bend your knees. You activate them while running or climbing stairs.

Gluteus maximus (booty) and gluteus medius (side booty) both make up your tush and work together to extend your legs behind you. The gluteus medius' main function is to rotate your legs to the side.

The inner thigh helps pull your leg toward your midline. A real life example would be crossing your legs.

Your calves assist in plantar flexion (aka pointing your foot) in moves like calf raises.

This workout hits each muscle, helping you torch calories faster while sculpting every inch of your legs and booty! We used a mixture of cardio, balance, and toning moves to get the most out of your workout.

*** Complete 31 reps on each side! Yup! We're continuing your 31 rep challenge! You can take breaks as needed, but complete 31 reps of everything, just like your DAILY WORKOUT!
